Obituary

Sara Frances (Bobbie) Daniell Payne went to be with her Lord and Savior very early on June 11, 2020, at the age of 98. She was, first and foremost, a "missionary for Jesus" and lover of people. Growing up, she was a "tom-boy" and known to everyone as "Bobbie". This nickname apparently came from her brother, Jack, who was her dearest childhood friend and playmate. Bobbie was the youngest of eight children born to Arthur and Alice Daniell of Mableton and the only child born in a hospital, all her siblings being birthed at home. Bobbie was a superb athlete and played basketball for her school in Mableton. Bobbie grew up in Mableton across the street from Mableton First Baptist Church where her family was very active. Bobbie's childhood dream and ambition was to be a foreign missionary. Although this did not occur, God used Bobbie as a missionary to children, her extended family and to so many others. She was a devoted and dedicated wife and mother, giving sacrificially of time and of herself. She shared the gracious love of Jesus with everyone she met. It just seemed to flow out of her loving heart. She was a natural evangelist for Jesus, loving people and sharing Jesus' love with them. She could easily strike up a conversation about Jesus with any person, regardless of their appearance or religious beliefs. She was active in the WMU (Women's Missionary Union). She and her husband, Cleve Payne, Jr., formed the first couples Sunday School class at Mableton First Baptist Church. When Bobbie moved to her assisted living home in Carrollton, GA, she remarked that God had now provided her with her own mission field. She loved to sing hymns. In her later years at the assisted living facility and then at the nursing home, she would sing her best-loved hymns to anyone who would listen. Bobbie's husband, G. C. (Cleve) Payne, Jr. passed away in 2001. She and Cleve had four daughters and one son: Gherry Payne Gustafson, Deborah Payne Maddox, Mary Payne Reuterdahl, Jennifer Payne Loveless and G. Cleveland (Cleve) Payne, III. She is survived by all five children and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. A private family graveside service will be conducted with a gathering for celebration of life to be scheduled on a later date.
